And it really, I think, paid dividends for both of us. So That was kind of the story about that as far as finances and stuff. I mean, I would say in our relationship, like we definitely both try to gravitate or actually, you know, go towards some of the tasks and responsibilities that we have based on like what our strengths are.

finance money guy so i try to just kind of like manage as much of that as possible and obviously loop her in as much as i can but you know i try to be a little bit more in charge of that stuff and she's got other things that she takes the lead on so i think it's really important to find that balance and and find ways to support each other so there's not like too much being disproportionately dumped on one partner

Yeah, I mean, I think it's really hard to find the right fit or even to know what the thing is that you're looking for when you're first getting started. I think that for me, it was kind of finding a leader that I felt like I could really jive with and align with that would support me and was invested.

And also feeling like the group of those I'd be working most closely with are people that I'm going to get along with, because obviously you're going to spend a lot of time with these people. And I think we were really lucky that Cleveland Clinic had great teams and leaders and departments in both of our specialties.

And it was highly convenient that the chair of urology at the time was married to one of the ophthalmologists in the same institution, which is what my wife's obviously specialty is. So that was kind of an easy way, at least to initiate that conversation. You know, their chair was like super supportive. They actually, they didn't have a job or a role and they kind of had like created one for her.

So I think you just have to like communicate very well and figure out like what's the best situation for your family.

Maturity leave one month for the other parents. So I think honestly, like for us, I don't know how we would have done it without that.
